19th-Century French Bedroom Suite
$88,500.00
19th-century
This extraordinary 19th-century French bedroom suite represents a pinnacle of cabinetmaking excellence, distinguished by exceptional sculptural elements, sophisticated Bombé design, and the inclusion of a rare full king-size bed.
This magnificent four-piece ensemble—comprising a king-size bed, armoire and pair of nightstands—exhibits remarkable figurative carvings executed with extraordinary skill. While French furnishings of this period typically featured classical motifs such as shells and acanthus leaves, this exceptional suite displays a more elaborate decorative program of cherubs, floral compositions and ornamental cartouches that adorn significant portions of each piece. Furthermore, every element of this suite embodies the graceful outward curvatures characteristic of the Bombé form, endowing the collection with extraordinary visual presence and refined elegance.
The suite's rarity is significantly enhanced by the inclusion of a king-size bed frame. The predominant bed dimensions created during the 19th century were notably smaller, comparable to
Bed: 82" wide x 87" deep x 68" high
Armoire: 68" wide x 25" deep x 109" high
Nightstands: 18" wide x 17" deep x 34" high
